The Suns are expected to waive John Salmons.

Salmons poor shooting percentages and limited contributions to the stat sheet have made him a negligible option in standard leagues for roughly the past four years, and while he may be able to sign on with another team as an emergency-depth kind of guy, he's not making a blip on the fantasy radar in any league.

Updating a previous report, John Salmons has been sent to Phoenix as a part of the Norris Cole trade.

Salmons is going to be fighting for minutes behind Gerald Green and Marcus Thornton, and with season averages of 2.0 points on 33.3 percent shooting from the field, he's very unlikely to suddenly emerge as an asset in any league. Leave him on the wire. Thu, Feb 19, 2015 04:06:00 PM

John Salmons has reportedly been traded to the Miami Heat for Norris Cole.

Salmons hasn't done much this year with averages of 2.0 points and not much else on 33.3 percent shooting from the field. He'll be a name to watch in daily leagues if head coach Erik Spoelstra ever decides to give him a spot-start when Dwyane Wade misses a game, but he's unlikely to have any value in standard leagues.

John Salmons (personal) upgraded to probable for Friday's game against Houston but did not play due to coach's decision.

Coming in with averages of 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, and not a single game with double-digit scoring this season, Salmons remains a negligible option in all leagues. We're moving him off the injury report. Fri, Jan 2, 2015 11:19:00 AM

Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game vs. Utah.

Chandler logged 18 minutes in his return to the lineup on Monday, but is far from 100 percent. Dragan Bender will start at center for the Suns on Wednesday. Alex Len and Marquese Chriss will see an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Alan Williams (knee surgery) is hopeful to return at some point in February or March.

"I’m definitely looking forward to that moment," Williams said of his return. "Man, the emotion involved. I’ll probably miss my first five shots because I’ll be shooting the ball too hard and I’ll probably pick up three fouls quick." Williams had surgery back on September 25 with a six-month timetable, so it sounds like he might be a bit ahead of schedule. He averaged 11.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals after the All-Star break last season, so he could become a waiver-wire pickup later in the campaign.
